Explorer Tom Castlegannon National School is the awkward cousin at every wedding who refuses to sit down. It’s the oldest school in town but looks like it just woke up from a nap. Bring a pot of tea for the ghosts.

Explorer Tom All Saints' Church in Knockmoylan thinks tourists from Dublin are just here to take photos and leave crumbs of their ignorance. It’s got that Board of First Fruits vibe but with a local twist that makes it look smug. A good place to forget your phone exists for ten minutes.

Explorer Tom St. Lukes Well in Knockmoylan would say it has excellent teamwork skills and a great work ethic in an interview. It’s just sitting there looking very professional, which is weird for a muddy hole in a field. Pack a picnic and an excuse.

Explorer Tom Ritual site in Mullennakill features a rag tree that has seen more drama than your ex. A matchmaker once worked there, tying knots and making promises. The cross looks tired from all the attention. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.

Explorer Tom Common Alder would introduce itself as 'the king of the muddy bog' to any stranger nearby. It loves wet feet more than most people do, and it knows it too. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Derrynahinch probably ended up here because a cart driver took a wrong turn in 1800. He panicked, dumped the stones, and drove off without checking the map. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.

Explorer Tom Castle Morres in Castlemorris is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass!
